I’ve been reading a little paperback devotional book as of late, entitled “Heavenly Springs.” It was written by Andrew A. Bonar. One comment he made that grasped my heart was, “If ‘everlasting’ were not written over the joys of heaven, we would be trembling lest the banquet should have an end, lest the day should have an evening.”
We speak of the longest day of the year, but it has a night. But there is coming a day, an “Everlasting Day,” if you please, that will never have a night. And every moment of that day will be spent in the presence of God and His Dear Son, the Lord Jesus.
We will also be with loved ones and friends, and together we shall experience such rapturous joys, which no human could ever imagine or describe. We need never fear the dusk of evening, for the Sun never sets on that day. There will be no concern of it all ending and us packing up to go home, for we will be home.
My blessed mentor, Dr. Joe Henry Hankins, who entered “That Day” some years ago, began every sermon he preached by saying, “Isn’t it great to be a Christian?” Yes, Doc, it surely is, it most surely is!
